Steve!
Beasty? Sunspots.  What's your world coming to?

Here is an article from space.com on this beast; it includes an animation
and is just very grand.  Scroll down to the second article:

  From Stone Haven Observatory this morning, sunspot group AR484 has grown 
into quite the beasty.  I watched it in real time for about 45 minutes 
through several different filter combinations in white light and was able to

see some amazing details.  Light bridges forming and disappearing, penumbral

areas swelling and subsiding, white light flares growing brighter and so on.
